Good luck slinks, it's amazing what us women can do when we have our backs to the wall!!!
As for xmas I have written practically no cards but have told most people that a donation has gone to charity instead....most pressies bought, just got the flippin wrapping to do and god knows when i'll fit that in as working all week and out some nights and have company round the others.
Hmmm wonder if "company" fancy a beer, wrapping paper and sellotape
